R8 Tyres

[petjam]

Evening all,

My 2016 R8 is currently sporting Continental Sport Contact 6's. They have served me well but are coming to the end of their life. I see lots of good reviews on the Michelin Pilot Super Sports so would like to give them ago however they don't appear to come in an Audi fitment?

Can somebody point me to what they have? FYI my car has 19 inch wheels.

Thanks.

As good as the Super Sports are they have now been replaced by the Pilot Sport 4 S which is even better.

Echoing Trevor's comments, many drivers rate those alternatives albeit they're slightly more expensive.

I have the OEM P Zero's which after 5,000 miles I have had no issues with although a) I've not used anything else b) I don't track my car.

does the gen2 have different size tyres to the gen1? my gen1 has supersports on it.

I have a set of delivery miles 6p's if your interested? I bought a set of gen 2 wheels to fit on my gen 1 but the tyres are obviously surplus as they're too high a profile 295/35/19. I was only looking for 175 delivered in the UK for the pair so is a large saving.
